Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />The Applicant will construct a gravel road along the perimeter of the two <br />reservoirs, utilizing on-site, pit-run materials. This road will allow infrequent <br />maintenance access to ±he reservoirs, without disturbing reclaimed areas: this <br />road will not be top-soiled nor seeded. Grading will direct surface water into the <br />reservoirs and the North Lake, except along the South Platte River. The <br />Applicant will grade the 100-foot wide berm so that half the surface runoff drains <br />to the reservoir and the other half drains to the river. <br />Exhibit F, the Reclamation Plan Map, shows the typical undulating shorelines <br />that will be created by final reclamation of the mining site. Topsoil will be spread <br />evenly over all exposed, disturbed areas for plant-growth medium. The required <br />amount of topsoil to be used as plant-growth medium will always be maintained <br />onsite to ensure proper reclamation. <br />Topsoil Application <br />Approximately 1 ft. (12 inches) of topsoil will be placed on aN disturbed level <br />areas around the reservoir and on all 3:1 slopes, both above and slightly below <br />the expected high waterline. Confour furrows will be established on the shoreline <br />slopes to reduce erosion and encourage stable plant growth. Topsoil will be <br />smoothed-out along the shoreline and furrowed as seedbed preparation for <br />successful native grass seeding and growth. <br />Brighton Mine Conditional Use Permit 2o007W0 <br />CAMAS Colorado, INC, May 200o <br />
